Kamala Harris’s campaign said Thursday, August 15 that she would debate her Republican rival Donald Trump twice, while their running mates would do so once, after weeks of not giving a clear cut answer on the issue of presidential debates.
Trump and Kamala’s camps had already agreed to one presidential debate on September 10 and a vice-presidential face-off on October 1, but the Trump campaign had been pushing for two further presidential debates in September and an extra VP encounter.
“The debate about debates is over. Donald Trump’s campaign accepted our proposal for three debates — two presidential and a vice presidential debate,” the Harris campaign said in a statement on Thursday.
It added that, “assuming Donald Trump actually shows up on September 10,” Harris running mate Tim Walz would debate Trump’s VP pick J.D. Vance on October 1, and then there would be another Trump-Harris face-off later in October.
Harris is the first female and first Black and South Asian vice president, and is aiming to make history as the first woman president.
The Harris and Trump debate on September 10 will be hosted by ABC News, a station Trump had previously refused to debate at, saying he was in a legal dispute with its executives.
